Abstract excerpt
The ability to detoxify the phytoalexin, pisatin, an antimicrobial compound produced by pea (Pisum sativum L.), is one requirement for pathogenicity of the fungus Nectria haematococca on this plant. Detoxification is mediated by a cytochrome P-450, pisatin demethylase, encoded by any one of six Pda genes, which differ with respect to the inducibility and level of pisatin demethylase activity they confer, and...
